"It also shows for me the change in the role of the teacher. That you're really not there to be the lecturer or that all information is coming from you and going directly to the students... Our role is shifting, moving towards a coach or facilitator, still realizing that we are ultimately responsible for children's learning, but it's a shared responsibility."
